剛剛看完由U.Z.N官方媒體發言人Queen Christie打的一篇文章，加入一些個人看法，內容大意如下： 在HipHop文化裡，如果身為前輩或懂比較多的人們，對於那些還不了解HipHop的年輕人 口中只有斥責的話，數落他們對文化沒付出貢獻，那麼按照慣例...年輕的人們會選擇背道而馳，畢竟誰會想聽一個一天到晚罵自己的人的訓話？更不用說去深入了解訓話背後的涵意。 文化傳承是需要新血的，讓新血流失絕對不是HipHop的本意， 在進入HipHop文化的學習過程中，也希望那些年輕人能夠遇到一位至始至終都能以身作則，真實且可靠、並且不斷給予鼓勵的導師。 當然在傳承分享或教導的過程中，我們難免也會遇到少數的挑戰、少數奇怪的傢伙。 但是重點，這一切並不是年輕人的錯，他們只不過是出生在不同的年代、接觸到了較新穎的技術及事物。 有少部分屬於上個世代較資深的DJ們(同理可套用在其他元素的前輩)，對於後進們總是試圖改變他們的想法並嚴厲的批評，但是要知道...那些後進的DJ們並沒有正宗的導師。 在他們的生活裡，其中的少數可能還會有接觸其他元素的經驗，但是也有些人甚至連從黑膠唱片裡去挖掘學習都沒有興趣...。 總之，對一些年輕人而言，他們只是單純的在做他們正在做的事。 但是我們希望，在被那些元素裡最吸引人的部分領進這個HipHop文化的時候，最終這些年輕人能夠去學習更多關於HipHop的歷史，並且做更多的研究， 舉例來說，當一些舞者想進入Bboying的領域時，最初他們是被Bboy華麗的招式(比如PowerMoves)所吸引，但是一旦他們真正跨越進來了，他們就會回頭去學習了解更多的基礎。 這樣的道理就是HipHop四元素存在的本質之一；音樂、跳舞、塗鴉...，這些都是年輕人懂的語言，藉由年輕人懂的語言去引導出他們學習及正面的心態，然後去得到HipHop最重要的第五元素－Knowledge！ 不要去區分什麼學院派不學院派的，畢竟了解自己文化的根本來就是所有HipHoper都應該要做的事。 總之這是今年看到的第一篇對HipHop有了更新體悟的文章，內容說得是再平凡不過的事情，但往往我們沒有去思考；果然愈是簡單...愈是困難，因為我們"自以為"我們都懂了。
Keep learning, keep the culture growing, support real HipHop culture, we need young power & young blood, each one teach one, Peace, Unity, Love, & Having Fun！ By BoYan. (U.Z.N 710-Calafia Zulus & Hurricanes Taiwan.) --
原文(Writed by Queen Christie Z-Pabon - Universal Zulu Nation)： Peace! If people keep coming down on the youth for not "paying their dues" in Hip Hop, in the traditional sense, the youth are going to shut them out. Who wants to be down with people who berate you? We WANT them to JOIN us in the culture, not splinter off. Take someone in as your protege (as Fabel suggests) if you want to pass down the culture, traditions, etc. I hope the younger artists can meet authentic, supportive, encouraging mentors who are accomplished and who have been keeping up to date, following the battles, etc. They might run into a few cranky guys, but please remember, that's not the majority! It's not the youths fault that they were born into a different time with advanced technology. I see "some" (definitely not the majority) Hip Hop DJs from the older generations trying to hold the younger ones to certain ideals and criticizing them heavily. But remember, some younger DJs do not have authentic mentors, some have little experience with other elements of the culture, some are simply not interested in certain things like digging, going all vinyl, etc. at this point in their lives etc. In short, they are simply into one thing and that's what they do right now. Hopefully, they will eventually want to learn the history and do more research after they are exposed to the best that element has to offer. Example: Some dancers get into bboying, attracted by the power moves, but then once they are in, they go back and learn the foundations. -- Peace.
